@kyl_35 that part about the morale and maintenance days is huge

Back in NHL 16 I had a major issue with this. Had Steve Mason get injured and missed significant time, when he was "available to play" I left him out of the lineup (wanting him to be fully healthy). Little did I know that the sim engine would take 4 days to actually stop simming, causing him to miss a game and refusing to play for my team

This is a great thread of things I’d love to see.

 

I also hate when my starting goalie is “healthy” enough to play so I have to send my 3rd string goalie back to the minors. I set my starter as the backup and when I sim the cpu puts him in and he gets re-injured because he wasn't fully recovered.

    Without getting pulled, if my starter doesn’t finish a game, he better not be able to play the next day as well.
